Leung Conference Room (110), Stephen Robert '62 Hall, 280 Brook Street, Providence RI
Join Professor Wendy Schiller, Brown faculty, guest speakers, and the Taubman Center for American Politics & Policy for lunchtime discussions on American politics.
Our guest this Monday is Kevin Block. He is the Former Chair of the RI Moderate Party and a former gubernatorial candidate. At this lunch we will be discussing his new book Disproven: Voter Fraud for the Trump Campaign, The Data that Shows Why He Lost, and How We Can Improve Our Elections.
In November 2020, data specialist Ken Block received a phone call from the Trump Campaign. They wanted to hire him to find evidence of election fraud. What followed were late night and early morning requests to assess fraud claims at a blistering pace and ultimately find definitive evidence about the role voter fraud played in the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.
Multiple subpoenas later, Block reveals the truth about being one of the few professionals hired to prove the Trump Campaign’s allegation that voter fraud cost Donald Trump the 2020 presidential election. He explains what the voter data tells us and exposes the sobering truth that our federal elections are operating on hundreds, if not thousands, of disparate voting systems prone to error—a threat to national election integrity.
Disproven is an insider’s look at the results of an inflammatory claim, a flawed system, and the changes drastically needed before the results of another election are threatened or contested.
Open to all Brown Students.
